Breakfast Sausage

"I decided to make my own sausage to avoid additives and preservatives found in commercial brands. My family enjoys the traditional sage flavor. I grow sage in my herb garden, and ground the dried leaves in a mortar & pestle before measuring. I used a combination of pork and turkey, but you can use all pork, or all turkey, if you prefer. You can add 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper if you prefer it spicy. Prep time includes chilling overnight. If using table salt, use only 1/2 teaspoon; do not adjust salt until after resting overnight. The salt dissolves in the meat and tastes much saltier in the morning. Cook a little in the microwave before tasting."
